Reviewed by: ５８歳のせいチャン

I am 58 years old, but Julie kindly taught me how to use the snorkel and tips on how to get close to the dolphins, so I was able to meet the dolphins and the sea turtle professor without any issues. The person who took our photos was also very kind and attentive to everyone, which made it easy to relax and enjoy myself. I'm really glad I participated.

５８才の私でしたが、ジュリさんが、シュノーケルの使い方や、イルカ先生と近づけるコツを、丁寧に教えてくれたので、全然うまくイルカ先生やウミガメ大教授に会えました。写真を撮ってくれた人も、親切で、全員に気配りしてくれて、安心して楽しみ過ぎちゃいました。参加してよかったです。

サンドバー　キャプテンブルース　天国の海®︎シュノーケリングクルーズ　SUPや浮き輪などレンタルアイテムも！＜午前・午後／日本語クルー＞

The sea is too beautiful! きれいすぎる海！

Reviewed by: まぁさん

We participated as a couple on our honeymoon.

On the day we joined, as I had researched beforehand, the water was about waist-deep even in shallow areas, and it felt great to walk in the beautiful, clear sea under the blue sky. Regarding snorkeling, I can swim, but it was difficult to swim in the flowing sea without being able to touch the bottom. It was hard to breathe until I got used to the equipment, and I almost bumped into others while moving as a group, which posed a risk of drowning. I believe one should be aware of these risks before participating. I write this seriously, but if you think, "I can probably swim, so it should be fine," it might be better not to take the challenge lightly. After all, if an accident happens, it ruins the fun you were looking forward to. This sentiment was reflected in the staff's words when they explained snorkeling on the boat. Even though the atmosphere on the boat was relaxed throughout, it was tense during this explanation. However, that was reassuring. The staff provides solid support, so if you can swim, I encourage you to give it a try. Since sandbar walking comes before snorkeling, it might be a good idea to check your swimming ability lightly during that time.

At first, I struggled to breathe until I got the hang of it, and I felt a bit of fear, but as I got used to it, I was able to enjoy watching the corals and the fish swimming underwater. I brought an underwater camera, but it was difficult to take pictures of the fish while swimming. By the way, I brought a waterproof disposable camera from Japan, but they were also available for sale on the boat. Additionally, during sandbar walking, the staff took photos with a DSLR camera, and at the end, they offered prints for sale. If you have a waterproof camera, you can also hand it to the staff to take pictures for you.

The highlight of this tour, the BBQ lunch, was delicious, especially the chicken and chili beans, and I ended up going back for seconds. There was plenty prepared, so it seemed fine to go for seconds. The staff performed hula dancing, and while we were eating, a sea turtle unexpectedly approached the boat, creating a pleasant and enjoyable atmosphere. Since transportation to and from the hotel is included, you can participate in light clothing, just wearing a cover-up over your swimsuit. You only need to bring minimal items: a towel, sunscreen, a waterproof camera, and a little money (since there are photo sales). You take off your beach sandals before boarding the boat and place them in a container. I considered bringing reef shoes but ultimately decided against it. Most people went barefoot. If you have foot injuries or concerns about injuries, it might be worth considering bringing shoes. Perhaps because the water depth was significant and it wasn't a complete sandbar that day, walking barefoot didn't hurt at all. On the boat, you keep your belongings in a container under your seat. Since the container is shared, having a zippered plastic bag can be convenient. After snorkeling, you get quite cold, so a cover-up is essential.

If I have the chance to go to Hawaii again, I would definitely participate! This time, due to scheduling, it happened to be a day with deeper water, but next time, I want to walk on a beautifully exposed sandbar. And I hope to have the same cheerful and fun staff as this time. I became a big fan of staff member D, who looks like a complete foreigner but speaks fluent Japanese and is always joking! Thank you for the wonderful memories in Hawaii! Mahalo!

ハネムーンで夫婦2人で参加しました。

参加した日は事前に調べた通り、浅い所でも腰ぐらいの深さでしたが、とてもきれいな透き通った海と青空の中を歩けて気持ちよかったです。
シュノーリングについてですが
私は泳げないわけではないですが、足がつかず、しかも流れのある海の中を泳ぐのは難しかったです。
道具も慣れるまで呼吸がしにくかったり、集団で移動する為に周りの人とぶつかりそうになったりで、下手すれば溺れるおそれもあり
そのリスクを承知の上で参加すべきだと私は思いました。
あえてシリアスに書きますが、たぶん泳げるからたぶん大丈夫だろう…という感じなら安易に挑戦しない方が良いのかも知れません。
せっかく楽しみにして行っても事故が起こっては台無しですからね。
それは、船上でシュノーケリングについて説明をするスタッフの言葉にも表れていたのでしょう。
終始お気楽な雰囲気が流れていた船上でも、この説明の時だけはピリッとしていました。
でも、それが逆に心強かったです。しっかりスタッフがサポートしてくれるので、泳げる方であればぜひ挑戦してみてください。
シュノーケリングの前にサンドバーウォーキングなので、この時に自分は泳げるのか軽く泳いでチェックしておくと良いかも知れませんね。

はじめはコツをつかむまで呼吸がうまく出来ずちょっと恐怖心もありましたが
慣れてくるとサンゴや海中を泳ぐ魚をしっかり見て楽しむことができました。
水中カメラを持参したのですが、泳ぎながら魚を撮影するのは難しいですね。
ちなみに私は日本から防水の写ルンですを持参しましたが、船上でも販売していました。
また、サンドバーウォーキング中にスタッフが一眼レフカメラで撮影をしてくれ、最後にそれをプリントして販売もありました。
ちなみに防水機能つきカメラであればスタッフに渡して撮ってもらうことも可能です。

このツアーの目玉でもあるBBQランチはチキンとチリビーンズがとても美味しくおかわりしちゃいました。
かなりたっぷり用意してあるのでおかわりガツガツしても大丈夫そうでした。
スタッフがフラダンスを踊ってくれたり、食事をしてるといつの間にかウミガメが船に寄ってきていたり、和やかな雰囲気で楽しいひと時を過ごせました。
行き帰りホテルまでの送迎つきですので、水着の上に上着を羽織る程度の身軽な服装で参加可能です。
荷物も最小限、タオルと日焼け止め、防水カメラに少しのお金(写真の販売などもあるので)というくらいで大丈夫です。
ビーチサンダルは船に乗る前に脱いでまとめてコンテナに入れて置いていきます。
リーフシューズを用意しようかとちょっと迷いましたが結局持っていきませんでした。
ほとんどの方は裸足です。足にケガをしていたり、ケガの不安のある方は用意を検討しても良いかと思います。
この日は水深があり完全なサンドバーではなかったからかも知れませんが、裸足で歩いても痛いということはなかったです。
船上では荷物は席の下のコンテナに入れておきます。コンテナは共同で使うので、口の閉まるビニールバッグなどがあると便利です。
シュノーケリング後はかなり体が冷えるので上着は必須です。

またハワイに行く機会があれば絶対参加したいです！
今回はスケジュールの都合上、水深の深い日になってしまいましたが、今度はきれいに出現したサンドバーを歩きたいですね。
そしてその時もまた今回と同じ明るく楽しいスタッフで。
見た目は完全な外国人、でも日本語ペラペラでジョークばかりの陽気なスタッフDさん、大ファンになりました！
素敵なハワイでの思い出をありがとうございました！マハロ！

Maui to Lanai Snorkel Cruise with Breakfast & Lunch from Lahaina

Dolphin Watch & Snorkel

Reviewed by: Jana Killion

My daughter and I had a great time on this excursion. The individuals working the boat were very helpful. My daughter participated in the snorkeling and came face to face with two sea turtles! We actually made two stops for snorkeling. The breakfast consisted of fruit and muffins and lunch was hamburgers, and hotdogs. My daughter the diva had me take several pictures to post to her friends. The scenery was beautiful but best of all were the whales. We unexpectedly came upon three male whales following a female and her calf. The captains commentary was exceptional and the whales came up out of the water right next to our boat and then dove under it!! It was truly a sight to see. We had a wonderful time, the crew was exceptional and I would recommend this excursion to everyone.

Reviewed by: 岡田　栄利子

Since the main restaurant was fully booked and I couldn't make a reservation there, I booked this one instead. I wasn't expecting much, but it was great! The barbecue on the boat (hamburgers) was incredibly delicious and impressive. However, I participated in May, and it was very cold. When the sun was out, it was bearable, but when the clouds came, it was really cold, to the point where it took courage to go into the sea. I got stung by a jellyfish, but thanks to the kind staff, I felt very reassured. They properly treated me. I was also moved to see sea turtles up close! I want to go again when the weather is nice.

本家のほうが満員で予約がとれなかったので、こちらを予約しました。期待していなかったのですが、良かったです！
船上でのバーベキュー（ハンバーガー）がとっても美味しく感動しました。
ただ、５月の参加でしたがとても寒かったです。太陽が出たら、まだましなのですが、雲が出てきたら本当に寒くて、海に入るのも勇気がいるほどです。
クラゲに刺されてしまったのですが、日本人の親切なスタッフさんがいたおかげで、とても安心でした。キチンと処置もしてもらえました。
ウミガメも近くで見れて、感動しました！天気が良い時に、また行きたいです。

ハナウマ湾シュノーケリング　日本語ガイドが海の世界へご案内＜シュノーケルセット／終日＞

I was able to meet a honu! ホヌに会えました！

Reviewed by: 新婚仮面

We participated as a couple in the afternoon. There were also two girls, making a total of four people, and our guide was a Japanese woman. (I later heard that "master" Alan was not in Hawaii at the time and that he was replaced by another tour guide.)

From the hotel pickup to Hanauma, our guide shared information about the Waikiki area along the way, providing a smooth and reassuring experience. After arriving at Hanauma Bay, we watched an environmental protection video and took a tram to the beach.

We were lent snorkeling gear, fins, and life jackets, and they kindly explained how to use them. (Actually, the day before, I had gone on a completely different optional tour where there was no rental of fins or explanation of precautions, and my husband injured his foot on the rocky seabed, so this was very reassuring.)

Once we started snorkeling, we swam almost from one end of the bay to the other, guided by our tour guide. Along the way, we encountered a honu at a spot where they are often seen! I heard that earlier that same morning, they hadn’t seen any honu, so we were lucky. We enjoyed the beautiful sea of Hanauma while watching various fish and corals, and I truly felt it was great to participate.

The guide maintained a comfortable distance, and overall, I was very satisfied. It was a tour that made me want to come back to Hanauma Bay again. Thank you very much.

夫婦で午後から参加しました。ほかには、女の子二人組の計４名で、日本人女性のガイドさんでした。(あとで聞いたところ、「達人」のアランさんはちょうどハワイにいなかったそうで、代わりにツアーガイドをされているとのことでした)

ホテルでのピックアップから、ハナウマまでの道のりでは、ワイキキ周辺の情報を所々でお話してくださり、スムーズなガイドで安心感がありました。ハナウマ湾に到着後は、環境保護のビデオを見て、トラムに乗ってビーチへ。

シュノーケルとフィン、ライフジャケットを貸していただき、その使い方まで丁寧に教えてくれました。(実は、前日に全く別のオプショナルツアーでも、シュノーケリングをしたのですがフィンの貸出や注意事項の説明がなく、夫が海の岩場で足裏をケガしていたので、心強かったです。)

シュノーケリング開始してからは、ガイドさんに誘導されながら、湾のほぼ端から端までを全員で泳ぎました。その途中、よくいるというスポットでホヌに遭遇！同じ日の午前中は、ホヌに会えなかったそうで、ラッキーでした。ほかにも様々なお魚と珊瑚を眺めながら、ハナウマのきれいな海を満喫できて、参加できて本当に良かったと思います。

ガイドさんの距離感もほどよく、総合的にとても満足できました。またハナウマ湾に来たいなと思えるツアーでした。ありがとうございました。

Hanauma Bay Snorkel Tour with Expert Guide & Waikiki Transportation

Great Experience!

Reviewed by: Adriana

Dan and his wife were great! We had two cars because we were a party of 7. Dan was my driver and he was very good at giving us a mini tour as we were driving to Haunama Bay. Once we arrived, we didn't have to stand in line at all. We went into a mini theater to watch a 9 min video orientation. Then we were off. We went down to Hanauma Bay via a trolly. He and his wife explained how to use our gear and made sure it was all on properly. We all had a great time. This was definitely a fun activity to do as a family. The underwater views were amazing. If you don't have a waterproof camera, its fine. Dan takes a bunch of pictures and uploads them on to his website/facebook page and gives you the link, so you can view them. Don't worry if you don't know how to swim, we had a couple people in our party who didn't know how to and they were just fine. Dan, thank you. We will definitely choose you again! :) -Mahalo!

It was cold!! 寒かった!!

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I participated in early May. On that day, Waikiki was sunny, but Kaneohe was cloudy with occasional rain. Perhaps because the weather wasn't good, it was very cold both on the boat and in the water. Everyone wrapped their jackets and towels around themselves to somehow endure the cold, wind, and rain; it felt like a training session. There were no seats available that could shield us from the rain and wind, so I was standing the whole time on the boat, which was tiring. It was disappointing that the price didn't match the experience...

5月上旬に参加しました。当日、ワイキキは快晴でしたが、カネオヘは曇り時々雨でした。天気が良くなかったからか、船上も水中もとっても寒かったです。全員持参した上着やタオルを体中に巻いてなんとか寒さと風と雨をしのぎ、まるで修行のような時間でした。雨&風を防げる座れる席がなかったため、船に乗っている間中、ずっと立ちっぱなしで疲れました。値段と割が合わなくて残念でした…。

Lowered body temperature due to rain. 雨で体温低下

Reviewed by: ゴマメ

After the wedding went off without a hitch, we spent the next day at the sandbar, having safely delivered our family and guests to the airport. However, despite the clear weather the day before, it rained on and off that day, and the temperature was low, so we ended up shivering as we entered the sandbar. Still, since it was the day after such a significant event, it became a nice memory for us to relax and enjoy together.

結婚式が無事に終わり、家族や参列者を無事に空港まで送り届けた翌日の二人の時間をサンドバーで過ごしました。
しかしながら、前日までの晴天もこの日は雨が降ったり止んだりで気温が低く、折角のサンドバーもブルブル震えながら入る事になりました、、、
それでも無事に終わった一大イベントの翌日なので、二人でゆっくり楽しめた事はいい思い出になりました。

I participated in the afternoon session. The weather was very nice, and since the instructor was Japanese, I felt reassured. About 60 people boarded the same boat at once. Most of them were newlyweds or couples.

The sandbar was about knee-deep, but it was incredibly beautiful and I was moved. If you ask the instructor, they will take wonderful photos for you. The meal afterward was hearty and very delicious!

When we arrived at the snorkeling spot, everyone jumped in and started swimming. Many people gave up because it was cold, but the water was warm and there were plenty of fish, so I recommend swimming.

At that time, I was lucky enough to see a sea turtle that was either sleeping or just staying still, and I was able to see it up close!

Well... it might be okay. まぁ・・・ありかな

Reviewed by: TORO

Positive aspects: The cheerful local guide in the blue T-shirt made a great impression, and during lunch, he played the guitar and sang beautifully. The snorkeling was also a lot of fun with plenty of fish around.

Negative aspects: The boat was very cold, and people around me were shivering while eating. The snorkeling gear was reused, and although it was soaked in disinfectant, many of them were still dirty with foundation and other residues. It would be impossible for someone who is sensitive about cleanliness. Additionally, the water in the two simple toilets on the boat did not flow at all, which was the most troublesome issue.

良かった点・・・青いTシャツを着た陽気な現地ガイドのおじさんはとても印象が良く、お昼ご飯の時もずっとギターの弾き語りをしてくれ、歌もとても上手でした。シュノーケリングも魚が沢山いて、とても楽しかったです。
残念だった点・・何しろ船上が寒い。周りの人も震えながらご飯を食べていた。スノーケルが使い回しの物なので、消毒液に浸かってはいるが、ファンデーションとかがべったり付いたままの不潔な物が多い。神経質な人にはまず到底無理。あと船に二つある簡素なトイレの水が一切流れず、それが一番困った。

We had the best time!

Reviewed by: Bill & Karen/SLC

My wife and I had never been snorkeling and one of the things that my wife had wanted to do for years was to swim with the dolphins. We wanted to learn how to snorkel and found this tour on Veltra. The tour was scheduled the day after we arrived in Hawaii and we received a courtesy call reminding us of the time and place for pickup. Dan was right on time and met us at the pickup place. He was cordial and interesting to talk to. Everything was arranged for us at the Bay. His instructions were easy to understand and we headed into the water. We were later joined by Dan's wife Chieko and they stayed with us the whole time. We enjoyed seeing the beautiful, colorful fish as well as the turtle swimming in the bay!

We had a very enjoyable time and recommend this tour very highly! Dan and Chieko were wonderful hosts. We are grateful for the time they spent with us (as well as others that were with the tour) as we were able to go to other beaches and snorkel.

Thanks so much Dan & Chieko. We hope to see you again!

サンドバー天使の海　シュノーケリング＆ウミガメウォッチクルーズ　船上のBBQグリルで焼くハンバーガーランチ付き！＜午前／日本語クルー＞

The sea was incredibly beautiful. 凄く海が綺麗でした。

Reviewed by: カナナ

I participated in the morning tour on May 30th. After being picked up from the hotel around 7:00 AM, we rode the bus for about 40 minutes to the harbor. Once we arrived, we took a restroom break and boarded the boat. There were about 20 to 30 passengers on the boat, and I think they were all Japanese. The local guide, a young woman, provided explanations in Japanese.

As we enjoyed the view of the mountains often used for movie shoots from the boat, we headed to the sea turtle spot in Kaneohe Bay. The guide mentioned that "the wind was calm and the sea was clear," and indeed, the water was transparent, allowing us to see the coral reefs and sea turtles beautifully. Many sea turtles appeared!

After watching the sea turtles, we finally headed to the sandbar. On that day, the tide was high, so we couldn't see the sandbar exposed (the sandbar appears on specific days and times, and it's said to be rare, happening only two or three times a week). However, it was quite a strange feeling to have shallow water up to my shins in the middle of the ocean, and the scenery was beautiful and moving!

After taking plenty of photos at the sandbar, we returned to the boat to prepare for snorkeling at the edge of the sandbar (where it gets deeper). The coral reefs and fish were beautiful, but with about 60 people snorkeling from two boats, it was fine going out, but on the way back, I almost collided with incoming people, and trying to avoid them made it hard to stay on course. The latter part was not really about enjoying the coral reefs. *sigh*

After snorkeling, we were served ham and cheese sandwiches and tea on the boat as we returned to the harbor. (While on the boat, there were about six types of soft drinks, including cola, available for free. If you ask the guide, she will refill your cup.) When we got off the boat, there was a request for tips, so I put some in the can provided on the boat.

I think we returned to the hotel around 11 AM.

There isn't a place or timing to change, so I think it's essential to wear clothes that are okay to get wet over your swimsuit and to bring a few towels. Also, as it got closer to noon, the sun became stronger, and I got quite sunburned, so sun protection is a must. It was a short tour, but it was a great experience that you don't get to do often, so I'm glad I went! (*ˊૢᵕˋૢ*)

5/30の朝のツアーに参加しました。
AM7:00過ぎにホテルピックアップで40分くらいバスに揺られてハーバーへ。
着いたらトイレ休憩してボートに乗りました。ボートには2～30人のお客さんが乗って(日本人しか居なかったと思います)出発。
ボートの上で日本人の現地ガイドのお姉さんが日本語で説明をしてくれました。
ボートから映画の撮影に良く使われる山並みを眺めながら、カネオヘ湾の海亀スポットへ。この日は「風が弱く海が澄んでいる」とガイドのお姉さんが言っていましたが、本当に海が透明で珊瑚礁と海亀が凄く綺麗に見れました。海亀はいっぱい現れましたよ。

海亀ウォッチングの後はいよいよサンドバーへ。この日は潮が満ちていてサンドバーが陸になっている状態は見れませんでした(サンドバーは陸が現れる日と時間が決まっていて、なかなかお目にかかれません。そんな日は週に2.3日らしいです)でも海の真ん中に足のスネくらいまでの浅瀬があること自体凄く不思議な感じがして、景色も綺麗で感動しました！

サンドバーでひとしきり写真を撮ったら、ボートに戻って準備してサンドバーの端(深くなっていくところ)をシュノーケルしました。珊瑚礁と魚が綺麗でしたが、30人のボート2台分で約60人くらいが一気にシュノーケルするので、行きはいいんですが折り返し地点から折り返そうとすると、向かってくる人とぶつかりそうになったり、人を避けようとするとコースから外れそうになったりして、後半は珊瑚礁どころじゃなかったです。苦笑

シュノーケルが終わるとボートでハムとチーズのサンドイッチとお茶が配られて食べながら帰港しました。(ボートに乗っている間、コーラなど6種類くらい？のソフトドリンクが飲み放題でした。お姉さんにお願いすればコップについでもらえます)
ボートを降りる時にチップのお願いがあったのでボートに設置の缶にチップを入れて降りました。

バスに乗って、ホテルに帰って来たのはAM11時台だったと思います。

着替える場所、タイミングは無いので濡れたままの水着の上に来ても大丈夫な服と、タオル数枚は必須だと思います。あと昼に近づくにつれ日差しが強くなってきてかなり焼けたので日焼け対策も必須だと思います。短い時間のツアーでしたが、なかなか出来ない体験が出来るツアーなので行ってよかったです(*ˊૢᵕˋૢ*)

6名限定！ハワイ島　野生のイルカウォッチング+ケアラケクア湾シュノーケリングツアー＜午前／英語ガイド／軽食付＞

baby dolphin 赤ちゃんイルカ

Reviewed by: ぐうさん

The male guide, who is fluent in Japanese, was very kind and explained the highlights in detail. By the way, there were four passengers and one guide. We saw a lot of dolphins, and they came incredibly close, which was thrilling. There was also a pod with a baby dolphin, which was adorable. We could hear their calls and watched them jump and spin up close. In Kealakekua Bay, we saw eels and tropical fish, and there were also dolphins here, so we had plenty to see. The boat goes fast, so it can get cold if you're wet. It's a good idea to wear dry clothes over your swimsuit or wrap yourself in a bath towel.

日本語が堪能な男性ガイドさんはとても親切だし見処も丁寧に説明してくれた
ちなみに乗客4人でガイドは１人
イルカはたくさん見られたしものすごく近くまで寄ってきて感激した
赤ちゃんイルカを連れた群れもいて可愛かった
鳴き声も聞こえたしジャンプしたりくるくる回ったりしているのを間近で見れた
ケアラケクア湾ではウツボや熱帯魚を見たしここでもイルカの群がいて十分に見れた
船は高速なので濡れたままだと寒い
乾いた服を上からきるかバスタオルにくるまっていると良い

サンドバー天使の海　シュノーケリング＆ウミガメウォッチクルーズ　船上のBBQグリルで焼くハンバーガーランチ付き！＜午前／日本語クルー＞

The best sea. 最高の海

Reviewed by: sato

I had seen photos and videos of the sandbar in guidebooks and on TV, so I thought my excitement might be diminished, but that sea was truly the sea of angels! The blue sky and the crystal-clear water made for the best moments. I was able to see turtles and mantas, and although it was a short time, it was a very fulfilling tour.

ガイドブックやテレビなどでサンドバーの写真や映像を見ていたので感動も薄くなるのではと思いきやあの海は正しく天使の海！
青い空そして透き通った海最高のひとときでした。
カメやマンタも観ることが出来て短時間でしたがとても充実したツアーでした。
